Donaldson Boshard

What Donaldson Boshard does

Donaldson Boshard is a boutique architecture studio headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, founded circa 2019 and operated by two co-founding directors, Kristjan Donaldson and Grant Boshard. The firm provides professional architectural design services across commercial architecture, interior architecture, and urban design, serving commercial developers, property owners, and businesses in the Perth metropolitan area. Visible projects include the award-winning OneNinety commercial building, the 320 Rokeby Road office project, and the Copia retail fit-out, all of which have been submitted to and recognized by Australian industry award programs.

The studio generates revenue through project-based engagements, with fees tied to scope, complexity, and project requirements under a professional services model. Its go-to-market relies on direct enterprise engagement, studio reputation, and award-driven earned media rather than outbound sales infrastructure. Distribution is regional, anchored to Perth WA, with marketing conducted primarily through Instagram, LinkedIn, and press coverage in outlets such as Architecture AU and The Local Project.

The operating footprint is small, with approximately five total employees concentrated under the two directors. In 2024 alone, the firm accumulated multiple industry recognitions spanning the Australian Institute of Architecture WA Chapter Awards, Master Builders Association Excellence in Construction Awards, the Interior Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) shortlists, and the Property Council of Australia Awards shortlists, signaling elevated credibility within the Western Australian commercial architecture market despite the firm's limited scale.
